[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few choose NESCAC over top D1.  NESCAC is for those next level or lowest level but not multiple D1 offers are choosing NESCAC schools instead. [/quote]

Are kids picking Middlebury over Duke or UVA?   Unlikely.    Are some picking Middlebury over Lehigh or Bucknell?  You better believe it.

Even a club like Capital (or Heros or M&D for that matter) will only send 8-10 girls to top 25 programs.   The rest go to mid or bottom tier DI.

And take a look at the '8-10 girls' who do end up going to a top 25.....many of them don't play or have very limited field time. Also, take a look at some of the young ladies who graduated HS in 2020, 2019 & 2018 (due to covid they have an extra year of eligibility), a good portion have stopped playing altogether and are enjoying life without lacrosse (believe it or not) at their chosen school. Others who are playing for mid-major programs have a good balance of athletics & academics & a social life. There are some great programs out there at schools who are not in the top 25.  And quite a few actually commit to a school based on the culture and the academic opportunities. If it's a good fit, they stick it out through all 4 years. [/quote]

This.   There is a reason tha that Harvard brings in 9-12 girls per year.   They know a quarter of them won't be on the team in two years for various reasons.[/quote]
